Uploaded at the request of YouTube user "77slipkid", who asked "do you have any airchecks of Brian Zimmerman who was KMB's afternoon host?" Here is a "scoped" recording of Brian's show on 1070 WKMB on February 8th, 2001, during the last half-hour or so before the station signed off the air at sunset. This was received on a Radio Shack Optimus 12-603 "GE Superadio III clone", which is a good radio, but definitely nowhere near as good as the real Superadio when it comes to AM audio quality and sensitivity. This was received in narrow bandwidth mode, while the recording I previously uploaded from Bob Hunt's morning how on 2/9/01 was received in wide bandwidth mode and equalized to flatten the frequency response, making it sound much more like the Superadio III. Shown in the video is WKMB's transmitter shack. At the time this was recorded, their studio was in a small, nondescript office building about a mile away, and the STL was via an analog Telco line.
